Prime Minister Erdogan on Thursday walked off the stage at a panel discussion on Gaza at the World Economic Forum in Davos after the moderator interrupted his speech in response to Israeli President Shimon Peres' criticisms and said that he will not attend the Davos meetings in the future.

Erdogan's reaction found support throughout the world, especially in Islamic countries.

Sourur said that it was an appropriate reaction, and Erdogan showed that the Palestinian issue was an issue concerning not only the Arabs but also the Turks and that Turkey could not bear injustice.
